HTTP streaming, with bidirectional emulation

HTTP streaming connection endpoint in Centrifugo is:

/connection/http_stream
info

This transport is only implemented by our Javascript SDK at this point – as it mostly makes sense as a fallback for WebSocket to have real-time connection in an environment where WebSocket is unavailable. These days those envs are mostly corporate networks which can block WebSocket traffic (even TLS-based).

Options​

http_stream​

Boolean, default: false.

Enables HTTP streaming endpoint. And enables emulation endpoint (/emulation by default) to accept emulation HTTP requests from clients.

config.json
{
    ...
    "http_stream": true
}

http_stream_max_request_body_size​

Default: 65536 (64KB)

Maximum allowed size of a initial HTTP POST request in bytes.
